Ability

Cloak is a Wraith ability that is unlocked by researching Offensive Tier2 from the Upgrades Console.
Drones following the Weapon Console order will not fire the Battlecruisers weapons at cloaked ships despite the cloak not completely camouflaging the ship.
Cloak has an initial 50 energy cost and a 25/second energy drain while the cloaking remains active. Cloak can be deactivated by casting uncloak.
Using a Wraith ability (such as a Boost) will reveal the Wraith taking it out of Cloak. However using items (such as firing Light Missiles) from the ships inventory will not deactivate cloak.
The Upgraded Power Transfer abilities (namely Ionic, Nanite and Plasma transfer) all give a buff that isn't hidden by cloak, making cloaked ships easily spotted when the buff is applied. However cloaking a ship, even with the visible buff, still stop enemy AI on the Weapons Console from attacking your ship.
Cloaking a ship doesn't stop the ship from being detected by pings.
